Don't profile the rapist. Profile the victims. Serial rapists typically seek out victims within a set demographic. You can almost always find a commonality among the victims. Here, for example, I'd just bet they were all college-aged women. Ask yourself, what else did the victims have in common? Did the attacks happen at home, at work, or near vehicles? Did the victims look similar? Did they engage in similar activities?

Know what he's looking for. Then, you will know how to avoid being seen as a target. (If you wish, you can also know how to appear as a target... but I wouldn't tempt fate.)
